Supporting immune health through the gut microbiome
The future of immune support is rooted in the gut.
Approximately 70% of the body’s immune cells are located in the gut, making gut microbiome health essential for building immune resilience. Acting as the body’s natural lines of defence against pathogens, the immune system is a complex network of interconnected systems, communication, cells, signalling molecules, and functions that help maintain optimal health.
As consumer awareness of the gut-immune connection grows, demand is rising for effective, science-backed solutions that support everyday immune resilience
Bimuno’s research-backed mechanisms
By selectively nourishing beneficial bacteria in the gut microbiome, Bimuno GOS can support immune health and defence through several pathways:
Clinical studies examining the relationship between Bimuno GOS and immune parameters have been conducted across diverse population groups, from elderly adults, overweight individuals, to physically active populations – demonstrating its wide application potential.

Why the gut microbiome is central to immune health
The gut microbiome – the complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms residing in the intestinal tract – plays a fundamental role in immune function through several key mechanisms:
Supporting and regulating immune cell development
Producing metabolites that influence immune signalling
Modulating inflammatory responses
Maintaining intestinal barrier integrity
Competing with potentially harmful microorganisms
Scientific evidence suggests that a balanced gut microbiome, particularly with healthy levels of beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria, is closely linked with a stronger, more resilient immune function.
Key research highlights
Our research portfolio includes multiple studies examining the relationship between Bimuno GOS and immune function.
Professional athletes
Research in physically active individuals has shown promising results for immune support during periods of intensive exercise. A study examining the effects of Bimuno GOS in professional athletes found shorter duration of immune-related (respiratory tract) issues and changes in measures related to immune function and exercise recovery.
These studies provide strong, actionable evidence for formulators looking to deliver trusted, science-backed
solutions that address real consumer needs.
